stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

[stonegod]

The 3rd level one though, that's just gravy. But if I give up divine health, Khensu puts himself at risk to contract this zombification disease. Hrm. It's a toughie. He'd definitely join the Lightbringers, but I don't know that I'd take any of the subs.

It is *paladin* levels, not class level, so if you focus on Inquistor for the next few levels, the bonus is going to be stuck at +5 extra smite dmg.

Of course, you do not have to take them now; any time you level up you'll have the opportunity to retrain.

Yeah, I noticed that. Although +5 dmg isn't anything to sneeze at, especially with Silver Smite on top of it. I'm just not sure if I want to give up that whole 'immunity to zombification' side effect of being a paladin in Barovia.

Since it's something I can retrain later, I'll definitely join up - it's not like it'll kill me.

Jarrith is the one most likely to get mad benes from these subs (as he qualifies for several of the rogue and cleric ones).

I was thinking the same thing. My brain kicked into "if I take the /next/ level as paladin, would it be an optimal choice..." mode. Then I realized Khensu is just fine the way he is.

Edit: Looking over Selase's equipment, I wouldn't mind taking the scroll of zone of truth and the cold iron mace. The scroll is on Khensu's spell list and makes sense for an inquisitor to have, and the mace would be handy if I come face-to-face with something my axe can't hurt. Does anyone have a problem with that?

Okay, I've finally had some time to look over the updated Character sheets. Comments:

- James Janis should have 40 hp. I use max 1st, then low/high average (so low at even, high at odd). Thus, she gets 3 more hp (3rd, 5th, 7th)
- Isida For the same reason as above, Maraat should have 34 hp. In addition, can you add an 'Aura' line right before 'Languages' that lists his two auras (courage, menace)? Makes it easier for me to find
- DEFCON Everything seems fine.
- drothgery Daellin has the correct hps, but for the wrong reason---high hps are odd levels, not even. No change for now, but will affect things 8th. In addition, his caster level should be 3rd (1/2 ranger level)
- GwydapLlew Khensu's caster level is 2nd, not 1st. Also, could you add an 'Aura' line before 'Languages' with the courage entry? Thanks

That's it. I'll be making my decision on new recruits tonight, so if you have any comments, check the thread and let me know by email.

 

[drothgery]

Fixed.

Updated

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Fixy fixy!

FYI - I'm going to be out of town for the next week, and will be checking my games only intermittently; NPC Daellin if necessary. I think you've got a good handle on how Daellin works as a combatant, though with his new Cyran Avenger ability he may enter melee sometimes, especially if ranged combat seems ineffective.

Got it. Thanks for the update.
